Felt like playing a video game trying to trade that!

Interesting info, Ammo. Thanks! I, too, sold on strength recently, taking profits in my IRAs :)

Puddles, is that a 2-min chart you used to trade the open on CF? You are insane. Also, good to see you learned an important trading concept today: When your early trades are losers, you have to double down on the next trade. I discovered this two days ago when I was down around $260 on two...

The jobs report tomorrow is the only reason I don't have a swing short position on this thing. Because the daily chart has counter-trend short written all over it for a pullback to 79.00.

You work your way to that level over time. You need to prove you have an edge and inviolable risk management over a long period of time. Then you are ready to increase size and your account growth will allow you to do that. Do you have a pure statistical edge or did you "cheat" to make your...

Actually I see a very similar pattern here as well, with everything that preceded it including the 200 EMA looking eerily deja vu-ish as well. :p

I absolutely did not, because the setups I would normally take weren't "clean" if you know what I mean. Either survivable stops would be too wide, or it would look like a trap. I believe there were few solid opportunities today and am happy to have captured 2 1/2 of them :eek: I used the...

I finally learned my lesson a while back about days like this and scalped small profits instead of trying to catch anything of significance. CL was the choppiest/whippiest thing I've seen. My two best trades of the day pretty much transpired in a single 5-min candle before price whipped the...

This was a good breakout today; do you normally hold through an earnings announcement?

This is a silly statement. How is shorting a losing game? In day trading, it doesn't matter. I short at least 90% of the time, have had 12 small losing days this year, and doubled my trading account. My biggest defect is not trading more longs and making twice as much money! This is day...

Pekelo, this is serious. Wasn't his only other wrong call ominously close to the May "flash crash"???

Smart bears know better than to get in the way when the "Rule of Testing the High" is in play. 1130 is REQUIRED BY SEC REGULATIONS!

My CL has been 4.62 RT for a long time. I want .20 off...

Volente, don't question emg, just short ES and place your limit buy order at 1107.50 to be safe :p

CL is like watching grass grow today, relatively speaking :p I been a good girl, taking my 20 ticks here and there instead of watching all my winners reverse to break even.

Oh sorry, did I forget to tell everyone I was stepping away from my desk :eek:

Resistance is futile. And that LOD should break now that I've given up...

Damn, you guys are a tough crowd!

You're trading 300K ISRG? The thing trades 300K shares in a day. I guess that would be known as masturtrading :p XXXOOO
